To All:

I am sure many of you have already heard the sad news that Dick passed away suddenly Friday morning (12-16-11).  I would have liked to have called you personally to tell you of this disheartening event but news travels so quickly when such an industry and community icon as Dick Zandri leaves us so suddenly.

Dick loved his work and every project we were involved with was his pride and joy, no matter how big or small.  Dick carried his passion for his work to the last moment and died suddenly preparing for another day at Zandri Construction.

As much as he loved Zandri Construction he loved working with all of the construction professionals and contractors that have helped contribute to the construction of so many projects he was involved with over the past half a century.

I would like to assure you all that Zandri Construction Corp will continue with the same integrity that Dick established and demanded of us all.  Dick cannot be replaced and he will be missed.  I hope we can all emulate the character he has exemplified over the years.

Sincerely,

J. Jeffrey Lino

Vice President
